Billionaire's match novel

Chapter 193 Stella clutched Trey's arm, unwilling to let go, but Trey lowered his gaze and slowly pried her hand away. He shot a brief, apologetic glance at his father, but Arthur didn't return it. The call ended abruptly. Arthur could only watch, helpless, as Trey dashed out the front door. Before long, Angela was back at the Fox family estate, escorted by Trey. The mansion hadn't changed in years. Everything looked the same, unchanged by time. Angela removed her baseball cap. Her hair, slightly messy, fell over her shoulders.

She smoothed it lightly and deliberately straightened her posture. Years ago, when she had been Trey's tutor, she had entered through the main entrance, hand-in-hand with him. Back then, his face had been bright with joy, and the entire Fox family had welcomed her warmly. Not now. The atmosphere was thick and heavy. Trey was silent, brooding. Arthur and Stella's disdain and disapproval were etched plainly across their faces. Despite it all, Angela felt victorious. All those years of struggle had led her back here. She had returned.

"Shameless," Stella muttered under her breath, refusing to give her any face, and turned away, following Lauren. Angela's chest rose and fell, but she held herself steady. Trey, wary that she might lose control, immediately took her hand. He hadn't expected her to defy his plan and skip her trip abroad. Instead, she had chosen to come back and make a scene here. The tenderness and guilt he had once felt toward her now twisted into caution, into a careful watchfulness. Perhaps her past gentleness had been a performance.

He had met her with sincerity, while she had planned from the beginning to ensnare him. Now, with Pete in the picture, he bore a responsibility toward her, but he also had to make sure she didn't spiral out of control. (19 "Let's talk," Arthur said, his voice edged with fatigue. He cast a brief glance at Angela, then turned toward the study. Angela's return was a storm waiting to happen. Her previous defamation case against Khloe was already under review. Angela could not escape responsibility and would have to rely on the Fox family to settle financially.

Meanwhile, Arthur's instructions were strict: she must not appear publicly, and her relationship with Trey could not be revealed. Only the Fox family could know. A contract was quickly drawn up for Angela to sign. Before the company's IPO, she had to cooperate fully with Trey and the family, preserving their image. Any violation would mean she forfeited her claim to the Fox estate and Pete's custody, along with heavy financial penalties. 1/2 Chapter 193 +25 Bonus Angela, prepared as always, added a clause of her own: once the Fox Group went public, her marriage to Trey must be made public.

Arthur, wanting to keep her in check, still had her sign. To monitor her, she was to reside in the Fox estate, not with Trey. The reasoning was simple: he was still, at least nominally, Khloe's husband. If Khloe returned home, it would be complicated to explain. Angela didn't protest. Pete had been brought back, and staff were on hand to care for him. She needed only to be served and looked after. That night, she settled in. Arthur had arranged for her to occupy the large master bedroom opposite Stella's, sharing it with Trey. Stella could hardly contain her fury.

But Arthur, sequestered in his study, didn't intervene. Stella had no choice but to vent to Lauren. She couldn't escape Angela now. The woman was living under her eyes, with a child. How was she supposed to endure this? "If I had known, I would never have let Khloe leave..."
